Credible Sources by Jennifer Bartlett https://padlet.com/jbartlett5/juy37uoxf4vp Are online sources credible? How do you know? Give a link to an article, slideshow or video that might help us discern reliable vs. unreliable sources. en-us 2018-09-13 15:50:12 UTC 2025-10-23 03:08:41 UTC hello@padlet.com Online Sources Not As Credible https://padlet.com/jbartlett5/juy37uoxf4vp/wish/282280551 Online sources are less likely to be credible as absolutely anyone can publish an article online and claim it to be whatever they want. There are also forums in which anyone can contribute facts, such as wikipedia, which is also non credible. Here is a video that can help determine wether a source is credible or not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLTOVoHbH5c]]> 2018-09-17 13:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jbartlett5/juy37uoxf4vp/wish/282280551 Credible Sources tlkwilson869 https://padlet.com/jbartlett5/juy37uoxf4vp/wish/282640444 I think online sources are not always credible because one they don't get checked through an editor all the time. Meaning the average person could write whatever they think and claim it to be true. With our society today I'm sure many people could create a website. When researching we have to be careful. You need to evaluate the author, audience, review process, currency and perspective. I've added a video to help decide if an online source is reliable or unreliable. ]]> 2018-09-17 23:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jbartlett5/juy37uoxf4vp/wish/282640444 Credible vs. Non-Credible Sources https://padlet.com/jbartlett5/juy37uoxf4vp/wish/282651114 I thought this was a really informative and also straight-to-the point article that effectively distinguished between credible and non-credible sources. It gives examples of both types of sources as well as steps to tell if a source is credible or not.

This is due to the fact that anyone in the road with access to the internet can create a website or page, wether they have expertise or not. And in terms of books, it requires a lot more effort to publish a book, not many people would go through the effort to write a book unless they knew what they were talking about.

Also, it can be very easy to put false information online. Because of this, online sources do not always contain accurate information shared by educated people.

‘’

Credible • Journals by authors respected and wellknown in their specific fields • Websites from credible institutions like Mayo Clinic, Department of Justice, and University-affiliated institutions • Materials published in the last ten years (when more recent information is available) • Websites: The more information available, the more credible the website. There is a specific author, the audience is clear, the purpose is informative not biased, and the information is regularly updated. Also look for websites ending in .edu and .gov.

Non Credible • Blogs, facebook posts, or other selfauthored sites • Research articles without citations • Websites with information not from an author or governmental department • Materials published over 15 years ago or have theories that are clearly out-ofdate • Websites: There is not much information available. If the purpose is not informative but may have other motives, like to persuade, the site may not be credible. The website is not regularly updated or the author is unreliable.’’

If it does you may not be seeing both sides of the story which can often be important when you are looking for facts. When an author shows bias in their article you might only see how they view the topic rather than how it actually is. This link is to an article on how to look for credible websites. https://www.thoughtco.com/gauging-website-reliability-2073838
